Report Link Controversial Maryland Flexible Leave Act Becomes Law.Jackson Lewis LLP - June 12, 2008 Governor Martin O'Malley has signed the Maryland "Flexible Leave Act" into law. Effective October 1, 2008, Maryland businesses employing 15 or more employees must allow their employees to use any form of accrued leave with pay to care for an immediate family member who is ill. Report Link Maryland County Council Amends Its Human Rights Code to Prohibit Gender Identity Discrimination in Workplace.Jackson Lewis LLP - January 17, 2008 Montgomery County, Maryland, has amended its Human Rights law to add "gender identity" to the list of categories that are protected from discrimination in employment, housing or public accommodation.

Report Link Employer's Lawsuit Against Employee Filing Discrimination Claim Not Retaliatory Per Se Under Ohio Law.Jackson Lewis LLP - January 11, 2008 Employers' lawsuits against employees who have engaged in protected activity are not necessarily unlawfully retaliatory, the Supreme Court of Ohio held in Greer-Burger v. Temesi, Slip Op. No. 2007-Ohio-6442 (2007). Report Link Maryland Changes Position on Unused Vacation Pay Policy.Jackson Lewis LLP - January 02, 2008 Unused vacation time is a "wage" under Maryland law and must be paid to departing employees regardless of the employer's policy, Maryland's Labor Department has ruled. The agency responsible for administering Maryland's wage and hour laws has quietly reversed its longstanding position on an employee's right to payment of unused vacation at termination. The Employment Standards Service of the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation (DLLR) previously maintained that employees had no right to payment for accrued, unused vacation at termination, so long as their employers' policy clearly denied them such a right. Report Link Maryland Employers Face New Vulnerability Under Amended Article 49B.Hogan & Hartson LLP - July 27, 2007 The Maryland Legislature has amended its discrimination statute, Article 49B of the Maryland Code, in a manner that will expose Maryland employers to increased damages and new judicial risks in state court lawsuits. The new provisions became effective on October 1, 2007. Report Link Maryland Becomes First State to Enact Living Wage.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 25, 2007 Maryland is the first state to enact a statewide "living wage" law. On May 8, 2007, Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley signed legislation that requires state government service contractors and subcontractors to pay employees working on state contracts a "living wage." Report Link Maryland Amendment Allows Discrimination Claims in State Courts.Jackson Lewis LLP - May 25, 2007 Maryland's anti-discrimination law (Maryland Code Article 49B, Section 11) was amended when Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley signed a bill, on April 24, 2007, allowing employees claiming violations to sue in state court. Maryland's law prohibits discrimination against sexual orientation, marital status, and all ages. These are in addition to the categories of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, and age (over 40 years old) protected under the federal statute.
